[ale] Fwd: Re: semi [OT] cool info, sn podcast, FIXING SSD'S, linksys router flaws, more

[Watson, Keith]

The founder of DC404 used his site for the initial web site and email list.

Our new web site is http://dc404.org/

However the email list is still run on (I'm the moderator).

http://lists.kaos.to/listinfo.cgi/dc404-chat-kaos.to


I suspect that a .to domain was used to start with to provide a modicum of privacy from government eyes but that is just conjecture on my part. If you come to the meeting this Saturday, 2/16/2013, you can ask the founder Dr. Kaos (assuming he isn't at Shmoocon giving a presentation).
